Abstract
A recent study has suggested that abdominal diameter index (ADI), that is, the supine sagittal abdominal diameter divided by thigh circumference, may be a better measure of the increased risk of abdominal adiposity for prevalent ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) than body mass index or waist circumference. The risk associated with all of these measures is believed to arise from the link between visceral obesity and insulin resistance.
